Bayesian Inference for a Weighted Bilal Distribution: Regression Model

Abstract

In this paper, a new lifetime distribution is proposed. Various statistical properties of the proposed distribution such as survival function, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, moments, moment generating function, Bonferroni curve, Lorenz curve, and order statistic are presented. The Bayesian estimator of the distribution parameter is derived. The behavior of the Bayesian estimator is assessed by a simulation study. Furthermore, a regression model is developed based on the proposed distribution. Some real data applications are analyzed to show the potentiality of the proposedmodels.
